[quote=Anonymous]I think the problem with gifted discussion is what are we looking at- kids who with a lot of parental supports are academically advanced? Or are we looking at a very small spectrum of people that have very large working memory capacity, high IQ and drive to learn? Lots in the first category and that may require pull outs to meet their needs and can differ quite a bit in terms of math and English arts. The second category most likely is not well served by any public system especially the lower grades. Personally I would like to see an initiative in DC like what they have started to do in Fairfax and focus on kids that seem to have some pretty high performing capacity at low income schools and get serious enrichment to those kids. Having grown up in inner city schools they are more common than is appreciated. [/quote]
